Honey Lime Fruit Salad
A bright, no-fuss fruit salad featuring strawberries, grapes, and blueberries tossed in a zesty honey-lime dressing that's perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups green grapes, halved if large (seedless preferred)
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered or sliced
- 2 cups blueberries
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey (substitute agave or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 zest lime (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash all fruit under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to avoid diluting the dressing.
- Prepare the fruit: halve the grapes if they're large, hull and quarter the strawberries, and leave the blueberries whole.
Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey (or agave), lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
Combine
- Combine fruit in a large bowl and pour the dressing evenly over the fruit.
- Stir gently with a wide spoon or silicone spatula just until everything is coated — avoid overmixing to keep berries intact.
- Taste and adjust: add more honey for sweetness or another squeeze of lime for brightness.
Serving
- Serve immediately, or chill for up to 2 hours for flavors to meld slightly. For best texture, eat within about 2 hours of tossing.
Notes
For a unique spin, use other berries (raspberries or blackberries), swap lime for lemon, or add tropical fruits like mango and pineapple.
